Child training potty

Abstract

A child potty includes a waste collector and a seat adapted to rest on the waste collector. The child potty can be placed in an aperture formed in a base when a lid mounted for movement on the base is opened.

       8 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the bowl support further includes a grip handle coupled to the bowl receiver and arranged to extend away from the bowl-receiving aperture. 
   
   
       9 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the bowl receiver is also formed to include a cutout channel communicating with the bowl-receiving aperture, the waste-collection bowl includes a cup arranged to extend into the cutout channel when waste-collection bowl is placed into bowl support to orient the waste-collection bowl in a predetermined orientation relative to the bowl support. 
   
   
       10 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the bowl receiver includes an outer rim and an annular plate coupled to the outer rim and formed to include the bowl-receiving aperture and the cutout channel. 
   
   
       11 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the base includes a top wall formed to include the potty-receiving aperture and a notch opening into the potty-receiving aperture and the cup is arranged to extend into the notch when the mobile child potty is arranged in the first mode of use to mate with the base and extend into the potty receiving aperture to orient the mobile-child potty in a predetermined orientation relative to the base of the footstool. 
   
   
       12 . A child potty comprising
 a waste collector including a waste-collection bowl including a seat receiver and a waste receptacle coupled to the seat receiver and   a reversible seat arranged to mate with the seat receiver and adapted to support a child seated on the reversible seat in communication with an interior region formed in the waste receptacle, wherein the reversible seat includes a seat pad and a urine deflector coupled to the seat pad and arranged to extend in a direction away from the seat pad, the reversible seat is movable relative to the bowl support to assume a first position on the waste-collection bowl in a male-child orientation to cause the urine deflector to extend upwardly away from the underlying waste-collection bowl and to assume a second position on the waste-collection bowl in a female-child orientation to cause the urine deflector to extend into an interior region of the waste-collection bowl.   
   
   
       13 . The child potty of  claim 12 , wherein the seat pad is formed to include an inner edge defining a central aperture opening into the interior region formed in the waste receptacle and the urine deflector is arranged to lie along the inner edge to define a urine-conducting passageway communication with the central aperture formed in the seat pad and the interior region formed in the waste receptacle. 
   
   
       14 . The child potty of  claim 12 , wherein the seat pad includes a male-seating surface on a first side thereof and a female-seating surface on an opposite second side thereof, the urine deflector is arranged to extend outwardly away from the female-seating surface, the urine deflector is oriented to extend away from the waste receptacle when the reversible seat is mated with the seat receiver to cause the female-seating surface to engage the waste-collection bowl, and the urine deflector is oriented to extend into the interior region of the waste receptacle when the reversible seat is mated with the seat receiver to cause the male-seating surface to engage the waste-collection bowl. 
   
   
       15 . The child potty of  claim 14 , wherein the urine deflector is formed to include a concave interior surface facing toward the interior region of the waste receptacle when the female-seating surface of the seat pad engages the waste-collection bowl. 
   
   
       16 . The child potty of  claim 15 , wherein the waste-collection bowl is formed to include a concave interior surface arranged to lie alongside and in registry with the concave interior surface of the urine deflector to define channel means for directing urine produced by a male child seated on the male-seating surface along a path into the interior region of the waste receptacle when the reversible seat is mated with the seat receiver to cause the female-seating surface to engage the waste-collection bowl. 
   
   
       17 . The child potty of  claim 15 , wherein the waste-collection bowl is formed to include a concave interior surface configured to define a deflector-receiving space opening into the interior region of the waste receptacle and the urine deflector is arranged to extend into the deflector-receiving space when the reversible seat is mated with the seat receiver to cause the male-seating surface to engage the waste-collection bowl.
